A dynamically re-configurable multi-stroke internal combustion engine,
comprised of programmable computer processor controlled engine components
for decoupling the four classic strokes of an internal combustion engine
and electronically managing engine cylinder components including such
cylinder components as electronically controllable valves, fuel injection
and air fuel mixture ignition, allowing additional engine cylinder unit
component states and thus cylinder strokes to be independently altered or
re-sequenced by computer control to provide alternate engine modes of
operation. Some alternate engine modes are facilitated by addition of a
compressed air storage reservoir to receive cylinder generated compressed
air or transfer compressed air to cylinder units in other modes to
increase engine power, efficiency or utility. Sensor input and on-demand
requirements drive control logic to manage engine strokes through control
of individual cylinder component states. Dynamic reconfiguration of
individual component states provides re-generative engine energy modes,
boost power modes, and mixed modes which use compressed air stored energy
re-introduced for alternate cylinder state sequences and alternate engine
modes of operation which add utility and efficiency to otherwise fixed
sequence multi-stroke power generation in internal combustion engines.
